British Man With Bionic Genitalia Finds Love After UFO Encounters and Gender Transition
Lee Carter, a 58-year-old British man from Calcton, Essex, who underwent complex surgeries to construct a bionic penis, has found love 14 years after his life-changing gender transition. Born Lisa, Carter lived for about 40 years feeling trapped in the wrong body and began his gender reassignment process in 2008 through the UK’s National Health Service. His surgeries included removal of breasts and uterus, followed by a sophisticated procedure to build a penis from skin taken from his arm, costing around £60,000 (approximately 238,000 shekels). To achieve an erection, Carter uses a pump implanted in a silicone testicle.
Beyond the medical journey, Carter claims to have experienced spiritual encounters with UFOs, mysterious lights, and "angels" during his transition, which he says helped him realize he was on the right path. He first gained public attention in 2017 when he revealed he lost his virginity nine years after surgery to a woman named Lian, though that relationship lasted about a year and a half before ending.
Currently, Carter is in a new relationship with Amy Rodriguez, an American entrepreneur from North Carolina who runs a banking business for startups. They met in London in 2020 while appearing on a Channel 4 documentary about genital reconstruction. Carter describes Rodriguez as his soulmate and twin flame, though they face challenges such as visa issues and the complexity of marriage decisions. Carter is studying psychology at the University of Essex and has authored two books about his journey, hoping to adapt his story into a film.
He emphasizes that his transition was not only a medical procedure but a full physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation. Carter recounts multiple sightings of unexplained lights near his mother’s home and feelings of being followed, which he believes gave him clarity and purpose. Despite the political tensions around transgender rights in the U.S., Carter remains open to relocating there and views himself as a spiritual warrior prepared for any environment.
His story combines groundbreaking medical achievements, personal resilience, spiritual experiences, and a hopeful search for lasting love, leaving open whether his transatlantic romance will culminate in marriage or remain another remarkable chapter in his extraordinary life.
